Canisters of propane were allegedly in the car. This man is 'helping police with their enquiries'.

The defence secretary, Des Browne, told BBC Radio Scotland: "It does appear to be a very serious incident. My first reaction to this is, thank God that we have police and explosives experts who can make these devices safe, and the arrangements they appear to have done, and that nobody has been injured."

He doesn't sound very bright, does he. "thank God we have a police force and explosives experts"

Yes, Des, it's just as well that God provided this for us, as 40 years of terrorism would never have persuaded a government to invest in such countermeasures.

Our London office has been closed because of this.

I am happy none of my friends over there got hurt.

Good working of the London police

This must have been an attempt at protesting that you now have A Darling for Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Balls in charge of education.

[Cort Haus]

The new chancellor.

With the way British News agencies have been reporting lately I wouldn't of been surprised to have read that the bomb was discovered when it exploded and took out have a block of office building and homes... "A bomb was found, no biggy"

I edited my comment out because on reflection I didn't understand your point, Japher.

At first I thought you were saying than a failed terror attack is not newsworthy. What did you actually mean?

Police are searching landmark sites across London for further devices, and are unsure whether there was only one bomb or several deployed across the capital. No warnings were received. The car was loaded on to a lorry and taken away. It would most likely have been taken to the forensic explosives laboratory at Fort Halstead in Kent, the site of a specialist facility known as the Igloo.
